Ghost Hunters: Iron Island

On the mid season premier, TAPS heads over to Iron Island, Buffalo, New York where they'll be investigating the Iron Island Museum. The Iron Island Museum was a formal Episcopal Church built in 1883 and later reworked as a funeral home/parlor in the 1950's. In the year 2000 it was renovated to be the city's museum. During renovation works, renovation workers had found more then 32 boxes of human ashes and remains. During the building's life as a funeral home, there was a person who past away during a wake. Volunteers for the museum are afraid to even go inside of it. Paranormal claims and activities include ominous shadow figures, cold spots, objects moving and falling by themselves, feeling of being followed, doors that are locked becoming unlocked and open by themselves, full body apparitions, and appearance of small children where none are present at the time.

EVP #2 (Female voice): We just went there.
(Alternative interpretation from Linda is that it was a foreign language, like Polish.)

Grant: Yeah.
Jason: Sweat, yeah!

Grant: I'm exited to get up to Buffalo. To check this place out.

Jason: I was born just a couple towns over, and it just be really nice to get back to that area. Definitely sounds like there is a lot of activity at this place. The people seem bothered.

(Referring to objects found inside Jimmy's chest.)
Kris: Honestly like, I don't know if this would help or hurt me. Keeping this much stuff around. Like, I think this would depress the hell out of me if it was sitting around for me to stare at it all the time.

(Calling out to possible ghosts using K2 meters as a communicator.)
Grant: Is there someone here besides Jimmy that can use this device.
Jason: OK. I'll take that as a yes. (Notices the K2 meter's lights brightening up.) I'll take that as a pretty solid yes. And it's still going.
Grant: Alright. you can stop lightening up the lights.
Jason: It's lit solid.
Grant: Please stop lighting the lights.
(Jason and Grant notices the K2 meter behaving erratically while the lights flicker and brighten intensely.)

Episode References
Dave Tango's red headphones.

The argument over Tango's red headphones continues on this episode. The argument started in the fourth season episode Fear Cage, in where Tango got a new pair of headphones and asks Steve to listen to something with them. Steve refused to wear them calling them un-manly.



Analysis
Dave Tango: Here comes New Jersey.

A common stereotype for resident in New Jersey is that they are loud and speak in a vulgar manor. Dave Tango was born and raised in New Jersey.
